redbull actually has an octane rating of about 190 RON (because of the energy density in the carbohydrate molecule chains in sugar) so would probably blow the top off a normal engine, the engines in those RB powered beetles use specially strengthened heads and internals - same as the redbull stunt planes. i think the engine technology is called IJMTU or something, it's clever stuff. STP do a fuel additive for it that is essentially corn fructose which supposedly boosts it to around 205-210 RON
